Runway Excursion Risk Reduction (RERR) toolkit

The Runway Excursion Risk Reduction (RERR) toolkit is a joint IATA-ICAO safety project aimed to lead the global aviation industry for continuous improvement in safety. It provides in depth analysis of runway excursion accident data and comprehensive set of reference materials for the prevention and mitigation of runway excursion accidents.

Content overview

Industry-wide survey based on the air carrier Self Audit Checklist

Detailed study of air carrier flight data analysis programs

Runway Excursion Risk Management Process for operators

Case studies to be used in workshops and training

Airport and air navigation service providers' best practices for ATM and airports

Self Audit Checklists for airport operators and CAAs

The RERR toolkit is available as a free tool including documents and videos.

Runway Safety Implementation Kit

In line with ongoing cooperative efforts to resolve what remains the number one priority for global aviation safety experts, a Runway Safety Implementation Kit (Runway Safety i-Kit) has been developed in collaboration with IATA, ICAO, ACI, CANSO, ICCAIA, FSF, IFALPA, IFATCA, IBAC, IAOPA, FAA, EASA and EUROCONTROL. This i-Kit includes the latest guidance updates to assist aviation industry, including centralized online resources, publication of the ICAO Runway Safety Team Handbook and twelve Regional Safety Seminars.

Analysis of accident data has identified that the highest rate of accidents occurs in the “runway excursion” category, where the aircraft departs the runway during takeoff or landing. Runway excursions have continued to be the cause of more than 25% of all commercial aircraft accidents annually.
